About Us
The Orphan Well Association or OWA is a not for profit organization unique
to the province of Alberta which was created from the work of many genuinely
concerned individuals from our oil and gas industry and from our provincial
government. We operate under the delegated authority of the Energy Resources
Conservation Board or ERCB, the provincial regulators of the oil and gas
industry.
The purpose of the OWA is to manage the abandonment and reclamation of
upstream oil and gas orphan wells, pipelines, facilities and their associated
sites.
The OWA provides information on our activities to a stakeholder group known
as the Fund Advisory Committee or FAC. The FAC provides advice and input into
the ongoing development of government policies related to upstream oil and
gas orphans. Members of the FAC include representatives from industry -
Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP), Small Explorers and
Producers Association of Canada (SEPAC), and representatives from our
provincial government - the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB),
Alberta Environment (AENV), Alberta Department of Energy (AE), and Alberta
Sustainable Resource Development (ASRD).
